Trade Review

". . . a systematic approach that can make a difference. . . in areas like building construction, land use, transportation, electricity generation and how consumers can choose value while at the same time playing a role in a carbon efficient economy."

-- Robert E. Hoopes * Wildlife Book Reviews *

"Modestly named, it's nothing less than a 'best practices' manual for achieving carbon neutrality . . . framing the challenge culturally and legally, and using available technologies and political strategies to meet it. . . . Words to live by as we look forward."

-- Clair Enlow * Daily Journal of Commerce *
